What Aaron suggested seemed to work with the passage similar to the previous
rit-a tempo example, but the stretching 8-notes problem arises elsewhere, like
in the example below.

pocoaccel = \markup { \italic "poco accel." }

Actually, it seems that my previous solution with "hideNotes" and rests leads
to collisions as well, and it also shifts down any dynamic markings below the
staff, which is not a desirable effect. I'm grateful for any suggestions on how
to solve the problem.

I changed Paul's solution with "hideNotes" to use rests instead of notes, to
avoid the warning for clashing note columns. Aaron's solution works well for
the score, but my problem came up when I tried to write the individual parts.
The updated example below illustrates the problem and my solutio

Sure, using "hideNotes" to obtain better spacing is a cheat, but it works
better than anything I tried. (I actually tried a similar thing but with spacer
rests which did not produce the wanted result.)
Thanks!

It may be a cheat, but in that sort of situation I just add invisible
notes to put the space where necessary. In your example I removed the
TextLength directives and changed your "othernotes" to:
othernotes = \relative c'{
e8 f g a g2 << c2 \\ { \hideNotes a8 a a a } >> b2
}
